Report
The Ashfield side that travelled to Kenilworth was a mixture of youth and experience with 4 under 18's replacing the missing Carey, Tucker, Jeffries and Chiz, who thought holidays, weddings and a certain football match in Athens were more important.
The start was very nearly a disaster, as Mo's usual attempt to miss the warm up resulted in him missing the start of the match, along with his car full of players which included the opening bowler and the wicket keeper. Luckily Kenilworth won the toss and put Ashfield into bat. Ollie and Tompkins took to the crease, Ollie doing his usual 'get in and get out', and was stumped by Watts for 23, chasing the Kenilworth openers. Zubir then joined Tompkins, made a quick 12 but was shortly bowled by Lowe. Mo then came in and played some lovely shots punishing Kenilworth's first bowling change, Braithwaite, by hitting 26 off his 3 overs. Unfortunately Braithwaite's replacement, Kane, forced Mo to go after a wide delivery which saw him caught behind, for a deserved 39. Captain for the day Tompkins played a steady innings supporting his top order, producing a stand of 39 from 2 hours, until left arm spinner G.Edmunds had him caught behind. Javed now came to meet Abu, and in his first batting spell of the season proved that he is more than just a bowler. A lack of backing up from Abu resulted in a disappointing run out, with him making an obviously unlucky 13. The next of the Ashfield youths, Warner supported Jav to a commendable 29 until he was caught by G.Edmunds at shortish extra cover, off the opening bowler, Peebles. Warner and Bartlett now had 6 overs left to increase the Ashfield tally. Warner was soon caught behind for 16, leaving Bartlett and Arsey to see out the innings. With 2 balls remaining Bartlett was given LBW off Lowe, having achieved a quick fire 19 on his debut for the firsts. Harry Law came in to face one ball, which he played and missed, leaving Ashfield's total at 223 for 8. Good batting performances all round, no one failing to disappoint.
Ashfield and Zubir struck, only the second ball after tea. D.Edmunds spooned the ball to Ollie fielding at mid wicket, who took a simple catch. New man Nason was sent back to the pavilion soon after, Arsey taking his poles for 3. Sellar came in to join Deeley and put on a slightly more respectable performance, however Arsey struck again and a solid catch from Amo saw Kenilworth 3 down for 39. A bit of wild or rather wide bowling from Zu, and Arsey being restricted to 6 overs because of age, meant that the 2 Hussians joined the bowling attack. There aren't words to describe Tom Bartlett’s style of wicket keeping and I'm sure Kenilworth’s Lowe will agree that his wicket was taken in the strangest way. Jav was bowling to Lowe, who nicked the ball to Bartlett for a simple catch behind, but as he couldn't catch a cold it was dropped ... onto the stumps, and as Lowe wasn't in his ground he was given out stumped! No need to be proud of that one Tom! Familiar face Mickey Watts now took to the crease but only managed 3 until he was bowled by Amo. Amo also bowled Kenilworth’s number 7, Peebles a few overs later, for 13. Things were looking great for Ashfield, only requiring 4 wickets and well into the tail order. Zubir then returned to the attack and bowled Kenilworth's opener Deeley, who put even Tompkins test match approach to batting to shame by making only 21 off 102 balls in nearly 2 and a half hours. Zu took a further 2 wickets in this the 37th over, dismissing Kane for 2 and Phillips for a golden duck. Only one more wicket was required with 13 over to go. Braithwaite put on an excellent show at number 8, supported by last man in G.Edmunds, which made the possibility of an Ashfield win appear slimmer and slimmer. Zubir's wild bowling returned and he lost the ball in the neighbouring field having bowled 5 wides. He believes this is why he won man of the match, as the older replacement ball worked wonders for Jav spin a couple of balls later, who had Amo take a good catch to dismiss Braithwaite for a very well deserved 45. A brilliant display from a mixed Ashfield team gave Ashfield 24 points and has seen them return to the top of the table. Let's hope we stay there on bank holiday Monday away to Fillongley.
